“Over You” takes listeners on an emotional journey. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing and introspection, as Jane’s Party reflects on the end of a relationship. Lines such as, ‘then I took a walk just to clear my head,’ illustrate a common response to heartbreak, pointing to the need to find solace in solitude.

The ongoing internal conflict is palpable throughout the song. Jane’s Party highlights this struggle with phrases like, ‘I’m racking my mind for the very last thing she said to me endlessly.’ This resonates with anyone who has dealt with the aftermath of a breakup, as the memories often replay in our minds, making it difficult to move forward.

Despite the underlying sadness, there is an element of hope within the lyrics. The band offers an invitation to connect: ‘so if you need a friend, someone to sound it out.’ This line emphasizes the importance of having a support system in times of emotional distress. It reminds us that even when we feel alone, we are never truly isolated—there is always someone willing to lend an ear or offer comfort.

Ultimately, “Over You” encapsulates the complexities of emotions that follow a significant loss. As listeners, we find reassurance in knowing that we are not alone in our experiences, and the journey towards healing is a universal one.

It all traces back to a shared townhouse garage in Toronto’s North York neighborhood. Four friends – all university students at the time – compiled a few instruments, a random collection of microphones, and some makeshift studio gear to bring a handful of original songs to life with no set agenda or grand ambition. The resulting recordings, however humble as they may be, glowed with an obvious spark that set Jane’s Party on a course from campus cover band to revered indie rock outfit with a still-growing pile of achievements and accolades propelling their rise.

Their effortless penchant for catchy pop melodies rich with substance has made them sought-after for feature spots and syncs across pretty much every creative medium. They’ve had songs placed in films and series like Saving Hope, Burden of Truth, Kim’s Convenience, and Hockey Night in Canada; been commissioned for custom compositions for popular TV and podcast networks; and earned impressive engagement numbers across their various social media channels – including over 40 million streams of their hit “Daydream” after a feature in Fortnite.

In addition to official slots at dozens of taste-making music festivals on multiple continents, they’ve shared stages with the likes of Arkells, Tokyo Police Club, LIGHTS, Lord Huron, Manic Street Preachers, and were even hand-picked to open two European tours for BRITs Critics’ Choice winner Tom Odell.

Listen to Jane’s Party’s “Over You” Single

“Over You” was written in October of 2018, a couple of months after my mom passed away. I’m not really a religious person anymore, but the thought of your loved ones keeping an eye on you after they’ve passed on is quite a comforting thought. I wrote the verses from the perspective of what I was going through at the time, processing this major loss. And the choruses represented my mom’s words, from above, watching over me, still there as a friend I could talk to when I was feeling down or lost. I feel like the mood we struck musically with this song really captures a melancholy and emptiness that the lyrics portray. Climaxing with an epic guitar solo by Tom, which I think is probably one of his best on record, that highlights the emotional turmoil the singer is going through. The groove is pretty beachy though, so feel free to dance through the sadness.”
